Market Vertical Deep Dive: Investor Q&A

Tough questions from investors. Direct answers showing how Veraxis wins across 14 major verticals with clear ROI metrics.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Offices (Cross-Asset, Cross-Jurisdiction)

When wealth gets trapped in red tape and scattered documents, Veraxis is the compass that points the way to grow and protect family capital.

Q: “We have analysts, counsel, and vendors already.”

A: Veraxis is a governance wrapper for capital allocation: codifies shifting rules (sanctions, marketing, privacy, ESG, licensing), maps them to portfolio exposures, and compiles as-of, auditor-ready evidence across operating companies and managers. We also surface regulatory corridors (jurisdictions/routes/counterparties where activity is permitted and advantaged) to deploy capital more profitably with less regulatory drag.

Profit • Time • KPIs:
Profit: Corridor-aware allocation → incremental alpha; fewer fines/penalties.
Time: Diligence cycles compress; outside counsel hours ↓.
KPIs: Diligence time ↓, counsel hours ↓, incident rate ↓, corridor-allocated capital % ↑, time-to-LP reporting ↓.

Buyers & Wedge: Buyers: CIO/COO, General Counsel, Head of Risk/Compliance. Wedge: Cross-portfolio evidence hub + corridor recommendations for a target theme (crypto venues, maritime lanes, marketing outreach).

Integrations: Systems: Addepar/eFront/Black Mountain, DMS (SharePoint/Box), CRM (Salesforce), sanctions/screening, bank/broker portals. Artifacts: DDQs, approvals, exposure maps, sanctions attestations, audit timelines.

🏦 Financial Services

When shifting rules slow down products and drain teams, Veraxis is the green light system that keeps launches moving.

Q: “We already spend millions on compliance. Why add Veraxis?”

A: Keep your GRC. Veraxis turns rule deltas into code, auto-pulls evidence from the systems you already use, and exports as-of, examiner-ready packs. Outcome: fewer MRAs, faster approvals, lower cost to comply.

Profit • Time • KPIs:
Profit: Faster product/marketing approvals → revenue sooner; fewer enforcement remediation costs.
Time: Exam prep weeks → days; policy rollout tracked automatically.
KPIs: Audit cycle time ↓, MRAs/findings ↓, time-to-approval ↓, first-pass acceptance % ↑.

Buyers & Wedge: Buyers: CCO, Head of Regulatory Affairs, Model Risk, Marketing Compliance. Wedge: Reg-change → control mapping → exam bundle automation for a high-visibility review (marketing claims, fees, model governance).

How Much Does Veraxis Cost?

Short version: Veraxis is not seat-based; it’s priced on value + usage (proof packs, connectors, and data meters), with ACVs differing by vertical. Typical first-year ACVs land between $120k–$400k depending on scope, with larger regulated programs higher.
Here’s the clear breakdown 👇

Pricing philosophy

Outcome > seats. Unlimited users; you pay for automated proofs and connectivity that replace manual audit work and cut risk.
Bring-Your-Own (BYO) data encouraged. If you connect your existing feeds/vendors, your COGS is lower and so is your price.
Simple meters. We meter (a) active connectors, (b) evidence-pack volume, (c) archived evidence storage, and (d) optional heavy analytics (e.g., corridor compute). Most customers fit in bundled tiers, so you rarely see overages.

What’s in the subscription

  • Core platform (Policy Graph + Evidence Ledger + Timeline): included for all tiers.
  • 1–N vertical packs (e.g., HR, Crypto, Supply Chain, etc.).
  • Connector bundle (e.g., 5/10/20+ sources).
  • Evidence packs allowance (auditor-ready exports).
  • SLA & support matched to tier (business hours → 24×7).

Includes: governance graph, 3–5 connectors, first 100 proof packs, SSO. Expansion via additional packs/connectors.
